He believes Gill can offer a balance of Kohli’s fiery passion and Rohit’s composed leadership style.

He's a really impressive player and an impressive young man. He's pretty calm and measured when he speaks, but [it's] interesting, 

I feel like on the field he's got a bit of fight about him; a bit of intensity, quite passionate. I think he'll be a mix of Kohli and Rohit.
